HTC Thunderbolt Battery Life Tips & Tricks

A lot is being said, written and discussed about the all new HTC Thunderbolt. The device incorporates some of the finest features and offers faster internet speed. Users can enjoy as much as eight hours of talk time on a 3G network, 2.5 hours of LTE streaming and 6 hours of video playback time with their HTC Thunderbolt. However, in case you wish to enhance the battery life of your Thunderbolt, then you can make use of a bigger battery to achieve the same. HTC is offering a high capacity extended battery for the Thunderbolt but it is only 1400 mAh.

If you want to try a battery with a bigger capacity, Thunderbolt HTC OEM 2750 mAh extended life battery offers twice the capacity of Thunderbolt’s built-in 1400 mAh unit. This new battery can make your phone about an ounce heavier in comparison to the existing 6.5 ounces. This requires a new battery back door, which makes the phone deeper as well. There will also be a desktop dock, which will be available for $59.99. This dock is capable of charging both second standard and the phone together at a time. The Thunderbolt is also the first phone from Verizon that will support wireless charging. We are also planning to sell a Qi-compatible back door battery cover and charging pad for the device. While the back would cost about $29, the pad can be purchased for $69. In addition to this, the Naztech Extended Life Battery Pack Charger is yet another accessory that Thunderbolt users can opt for. This small sized battery is ideal for traveling and supplies 1800 mAH of power (that is power up to three times the standard battery) and can give your Thunderbolt almost two full charges before having to recharge the Battery Pack.

This battery pack can be easily rescharged from any PC or even a standard wall power outlet. You could also select the Naztech 1900mAh Micro USB Back up Battery Pack, which features an LED for indicating charge and the remaining battery life.
